Who develops Standards?
More than 9000 technical, business, academia, government and community experts from 1500
organisations create Standards.
These Committee Members are consumer representatives, industry professionals, government representatives and academics who come together across Australia to debate how a product or system should perform and how it should be made. Their contributions are essential - they are the life blood of Standards Australia.
Standards Australia is committed to supporting projects with professional, trained staff who give high level, consistent support to produce Standards and other documents with authority, speed, professionalism and credibility.
Codes of Conduct
Standards Australia has a Code of Conduct for all Committee Members and Nominating Organisations. The Codes apply to all participants involved in the development of Standards.
The following Codes aim to streamline and maximise efficiency in Standards development processes.
- Committee Member Code of Conduct
- Nominating Organisation Code of Conduct
The Codes outline that by working with Standards Australia, Nominating Organisations and Committee Members recognise and agree to meet their obligations and fulfil the duties they are expected to perform when developing and approving Australian Standards®.
Standards Australia also has a statement titled 'Standards Australia's Commitment' that details the organisation's pledge to quality Australian Standards®.
Standards Awards
Each year, Standards Australia takes time to recognise a select group of these dedicated Committee members for their meritorious involvement in the development of, and contribution to, Australian and International Standards.
